CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
WHEREAS, United Nations Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan |
|
that promotes environmental extremism and social engineering; and |
|
WHEREAS, Initiated at the United Nations Conference on |
|
Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in |
|
1992, Agenda 21 pushes so-called "sustainable development" that |
|
would be implemented at the expense of private property ownership, |
|
single-family homes, and individual transportation choices; and |
|
WHEREAS, This pernicious agenda is being advanced in |
|
communities across the United States by ICLEI—Local Governments for |
|
Sustainability, which supports such programs as "Smart Growth |
|
America," "Resilient Cities," and other "green" projects; and |
|
WHEREAS, Through Agenda 21, the United Nations is attempting |
|
to exert an anticapitalist influence on American communities; |
|
currently, the agenda has no binding force on the federal |
|
government or on any state or local government, but it is vital that |
|
all agencies, entities, and governments remain vigilant about its |
|
radical policies and reject its implementation outright; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
hereby express its opposition to United Nations Agenda 21; and, be |
|
it further |
|
RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official |
|
copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to |
|
the president of the Senate and speaker of the House of |
|
Representatives of the United States Congress, and to all the |
|
members of the Texas delegation to Congress with the request that |
|
this resolution be officially entered in the Congressional Record. |
